Inspiration Friday: Memories of Terra (until 1/15)

[Kierdale]

Wishing you all a very malevolent new year!

For those who do not know it, Inspiration Friday is a weekly (occasionally fortnightly) event within its home in the Chaos Space Marines forum, in which a topic is set for members to write short (and occasionally long) fluff pieces about their war bands, characters and models.

As the first topic of IF for 2016 is not only relevant to the members of the Chaos forums but also those of the Age of Darkness forum, I am making this thread here to extend an invitation.

And so, starting as we mean to go on, here is the first Inspiration Friday challenge of 2016. A bit of New Year’s desolation...

Memories of Terra

For those whose war bands are descendant from the Legions, tell us of the part they took in the great Siege of Terra, the endgame of the Horus Heresy. Where were they? What did they do and how did they make it out alive? How do they view those events? Are they haunted by their memories of past glories or victory stolen from their grasp?

For those of the Dark Ages forum: I ask you to give us a piece featuring your characters, be they loyalist or traitor, set in the Siege of Terra. Tell us of their exploits at that great battle.

For those of the Daemons forum: which of your timeless diabolical servants of the Four were present at the Siege of Terra, the endgame of the Horus Heresy. Where were they? What did they do? Were they finally banished or fled of their own accord? How do they view those events?

For those whose war bands do not contain survivors of the Heresy - such as my own - , you might choose to tell us how they view those historical events, or take a break from writing about your war band and give us a piece about the Siege.

The greatest piece, most fitting the topic, will earn rewards. Not only the Octed amulet (which may interest some more than others)...

...but also the honour of judging who wins the next Inspiration Friday.

Inspiration Friday: Memories of Terra runs until Friday the 15^th of January.

Let us be inspired.

Please post your entries (and any questions you might have) in the main IF thread linked to above.
